"Den drukne" (The Drowned) is an 1846 lithograph by Adolph Kittendorff. It depicts a young boy walking away from a scene of a drowning. The illustration was made as a proof print for a collection of children's illustrations titled "25 Billeder for små børn" (25 Pictures for Small Children) by Danish authors Christian Winther and Michael Rørbye. The graphic and realistic depiction of the scene makes it a noteworthy example of 19th-century Danish illustrative art. The print, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, captures a moment of tragedy and loss with subtle yet powerful imagery.
